Libya Climate & Weather

Libya Climate and Weather

The Libyan Desert is one of the harshest and most arid in the
world, and decades can go by without rain in certain areas, but
this harsh interior is tempered by the Mediterranean climate in the
north. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are cooler with lower
temperatures in the evening, and rainfall is minimal. The desert is
more extreme: hot in the day and cold at night. Spring and autumn
experience the ghibli, a hot, dry and dusty desert wind that
can last up to four days, bringing temperatures in the coastal
areas up to 122°F (50°C). June to October is the best time
to travel to Libya, particularly to the coastal areas, as
temperatures are in the more manageable region of 80°F
(27°C).
